EXERCISE 11
Translate the story:
Вот и настал тот день, когда Драджо готовился лететь на планету Драконов. Они оба знали, что он принял правильное решение, но все равно им было очень грустно. Они провели вместе больше года и очень привязались друг к другу. Несколько последних дней до отлета они играли во все любимые игры, посещали все любимые места, прощались со всеми собаками, кошками и крысами района, пока не пришло время улетать. Куджо приготовил все любимые блюда Драджо на прощальный ужин, собрал сотню ланч-боксов в дорогу и подарил ему маленькую фигурку акиты на память.
Это был очень грустный день. Шел мелкий дождик. Все было серо-голубым и Куджо даже подумал, что теперь он знает, какого цвета грусть.
После того, как они все приготовили к отлету, запихнули все бесконечные коробки и сумки в корабль, дали друг другу важные инструкции, они сели около двери и замолчали.
Они сидели так до тех пор, пока не зажглась красная лампочка на корабле. Это был сигнал отправления. Куджо лизнул своего питомца в последний раз.
Он потом еще долго сидел на ступеньках и смотрел как серебристая точка в небе становится все меньше и меньше. Глаза были мокрыми. Наверное, из-за дождя.
